3 for 50, a Gatsby Reception, a Badger win!

Today
I slept in a little bit and when I woke up and got ready, the fiancé, his
friend and I wentsporting
clay shooting.

The fiancé and his friend had gone before but it was
my first time.

The fiance is totally awesome at this

Silly me, I thought it was going to be as easy as it used
to be when I played Duck Hunt and Clay Shooting on my original Nintendo.

Who doesn't remember this image from when you were young?

I was definitely not prepared for how wrong I was. First of all, I had to
learn to shoot right-handed since the fiance’s gun is a right-handed gun.
Secondly, the gun was way heavier than I expected.

Arching your back is NOT how you should shoot FYI

I had so much
fun. I felt all proud of myself saying “pull” when I wanted the clay
pigeons to come out. We went 50 rounds and I hit a total of…3. Yes,
three. I was ecstatic about those three little clay pigeons that I
destroyed though – I didn’t think I would hit any. I can’t wait to go
again. It was a beautiful day to learn how to use another gun!

Tonight
we went to a wedding reception for one of my coworkers – she decided she wanted
to do a Gatsby, 1920’s themed reception. Everything turned out
beautifully. I knew we would only be able to go for an hour or so since I
have a race tomorrow morning and we also wanted to catch the tail end of the
Badger game, but I really wanted to make a little bit of effort with the
theme.

Badgers win – YES! I’m
going to sleep shortly because I’m super tired and I want to be fresh for
tomorrow morning’s corn maze run! Oh wait, I haven't read this month's issue of Runner's World that came in the mail this week... #anotherlatenight
